Plasmonic metal decorated titanium dioxide thin films for enhanced photodegradation of organic contaminants
Nyamukamba, Pardon; Tichagwa, Lilian; Ngila, Jane Catherine; Petrik, Leslie (Elsevier, 2017)Photocatalysis using titanium dioxide as photocatalyst is an efficient way for the removal of organic contaminants in water using solar energy. In this study, thin films of copper and silver were deposited on fused ... -
Silver/carbon codoped titanium dioxide photocatalyst for improved dye degradation under visible light
Nyamukamba, Pardon; Tichagwa, Lilian; Mamphweli, S.; Petrik, Leslie (Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2017)Herein, we report the synthesis of quartz supported TiO2 photocatalysts codoped with carbon and silver through the hydrolysis of titanium tetrachloride followed by calcination at 500°C. The prepared samples were characterized ...
